    used her to help my friend move. being able to make it happen in one trip is always nice haha
    also fixed one of my license plate lights, took the whole housing off and washed it, the clear lens had some spray paint over spray from when the PO did the rear bumper. I'm currently soldering up some custom wires to be able to do the "Fog Light Anytime" mod. also noticed my rad support bushings are cracking, drivers side is pretty bad, passenger side is just starting to crack

    hahahahaha u do have a valid point there sir. I do have a cheap little one that is useless for when it comes to doing an oil change. I mean its better then nothing at all but its just ur typical short spout funnel. this would work a lot better then the one I have and it doesn't cost any money hahaha it will tide me over until I get a good one. plus it screws right in dude, no holding necessary hahaha

    Nice! But you need the internal coating too for the boxed sections. A lot of the rusted out frames seem to rust from the inside out. I bought 8 cans of it because of all the welding I'm doing to my frame.

    Can anyone recommend some quality shackles? I got some off of Amazon that were originally red but have started to fade to pink after just a few months. Effing China.

    Borrowed a set of balanced 35" toyos on FJ steelies from my buddy @Vigo.
    Truck rides great now! No death wobble at all and no weird vibes or wheel hop when going fast...

    My truck makes 35s look small :rofl:
